    Default I must've been a good boy--Heritage Trout!

    Imagine my surprise, when my wife and daughter present me with this on Christmas morning:



    The certificate is presented only when you catch 6 native California trout in their native waters. It took me a whole year, countless miles of driving and hiking, wilderness experiences you can't pay for, good days and bad.

    Unbeknownst to me, my "girls" had taken the cert from the mail and gotten a frame for it. Wow! There's no way this could've happened without the help and knowledge gained from so many of you. Thank you! I hope you all have a Happy New Year!
